I dreamt that I was a child, in church with my family. We were seated in the old slave gallery, as was our custom. The preacher was was giving a harsh sermon, condemning those who had adopted the practice of hiding nails in their butt for their own satisfaction. Sitting there uncomfortably, as usual, I discreetly removed a 4d(four penny) barbed nail from my butt crack. I hid the nail in my right pocket but I was still uncomfortable. Searching again I found more nails. Every time I cleared the crime scene I remained uncomfortable and searched again, finding one or several more 4d nails each time. It was as if I had limitless manifold butt cracks, each containing one or more infractions. I grew increasingly concerned that someone, especially my Father, would notice my efforts, I also began to worry that my nearly full pocket would spill, revealing these stinky stowaways.

Across the street from the church, where the new building project was being started, a wall was being built with 4”x4” post placed vertically one against another. These 4”x4”s were of irregular length, all a little short, and soft with dry-rot. Their length was corrected by masking tape wrapped around the top end, extending above the top like a concrete form to be filled with putty, thus compensating for their inadequate length. I was given 4d barbed nails to drive into the tops of these posts to improve the strength of the rotten wood. I placed the nails effortlessly one after another with single hammer strokes, often using a pinch of several nails at one time, as if that would be even more sound construction. My Father watched quietly, slightly smirking, amused by this fool’s errand. Having reached the last few post, I found it impossible to drive the nails successfully. These post had hard knots within that defied penetration by these wimpy little nails. The nails bent and crumpled instead of sinking.

Across the street, on the sidewalk near the church, I saw the church leaders. I overheard their conversation. They were concerned that those who were marginally devoted within the fold may withdraw their participation and leave the project underfunded. They called this hazard Fold Strain.

I broke into song. I sang loud and clear the theme from the music and dance show Soul Train. Whenever the words Soul Train appeared in the theme I substituted Fold Strain. At the end, while reciting the announcer’s phrase “Sixty nonstop minutes over the tracks of your mind, into the exciting world of,,,,,” I paused, only briefly, considering whether the next substitution was lyrically competent or appropriate, then I belted out the word fools in the place of soul. The word was drawn out long as if fool had seven Os instead of only two.

Spoil The Ballot!

Write in Mr. Poopybutthole for every office on the ballot. Not just for high National offices, but for every office at all levels of government.

You may object that the greater evil will gain control if the lesser evil does not win this next edition of “the most important election” in the history of the Universe. I contend that no election changes the course of empire. In 2011, under the guise of humanitarian intervention the Obama government destroyed the nation of Libya. The Wikileaks Hillary Clinton Email Archive tells another story. Apparently the unpublished motives included preventing Libya from creating a pan-African gold standard to challenge U.S. Dollar dominance, and to protect French influence in North Africa. At that time, Donald Trump offered commentary suggesting that success depends on acquisition of Libyan oil. Obama projected the image of an even tempered college professor while bombing Libya back to the stone age. Trump is brash enough to say things like Shit Hole Country right out loud. The course of empire never changes. Only the presentation of image changes.

You may object that the State level of Government is a different story. The Second Amendment to the Constitution contains the phrase “ being necessary to the security of a free State”. I contend that there are no Free States remaining to defend. When Newt Gingrich promoted his Contract with America he proposed Block Grants. The selling point of these Federal grants to the States was that the States could administer Federal programs more efficiently, and that they would accomplish these tasks with eighty percent of the funding, thus saving us twenty percent. My question then was, who would save twenty percent? Block Grants are here. Have you saved twenty percent? What he really accomplished was to further affirm the role of States as taskmasters, doing the bidding of the national government.

Your local governments are no better. They all dance to the tune of Federal funding played on the strings attached to funding requirements. Property Taxes have recently risen substantially in every jurisdiction. Rosa Koire predicted long ago that we will be driven off of the land by taxation, among other means. How did she know? It seems incredible to think that every official down to the most local office could be in on such a grand scheme, but they don’t need to understand what their role is. At every strata of society there are incentives play along. Nobody who is in the game wants to spoil the game and risk loosing their meager compliance perks.

Our leaders, those who are in the know, are among the worst people that humanity has to offer. Their abuses are far more shameful than hiding nails in your butt. They testify against their own character openly, and without shame. Donald Trump bragged openly, on nationally broadcast radio, that he intrudes on the dressing rooms of beauty pageant contestants because he can get away with it. This alone should have been enough of a clue that he should not be trusted with authority. Joe Biden, Obama’s Vice President, seemed unable to keep his hands off of women and little girls, even when he knew that he was standing in front of live cameras. If these people were occupants of a nearby trailer park you would demand that the Sheriff take action to stop them. By our own willful ignorance and our tolerance of this evil, wrapped in illusion, we have chosen to wear their stain.

None of this is new either. Governance by sexual blackmail can be traced back to Trump’s mentor Roy Cohn. Jeffery Epstein gained White House access through Trump’s longstanding close friend Bill Clinton. This feature of those with authority may even extend back millennia.

Spoil The Ballot

Write in Mr. Poopiebutthole in every field on the ballot at all levels of government. OooWee it couldn’t be any worse than what’s about to happen anyway!

It is up to us, born blessed and condemned, to be lifetime members of “The Church of What’s Happening Now”, to develop discernment with context, and a persistent energy to set standards and lead by example, not to blindly accept guidance from those in seats of authority. Willing to stand alone, we must become realistic and acknowledge the inevitability that our ignorance, negligence, and sloth has baked into the future, while never dismissing our potentials to alter this course. Popular causes, promoted by governments and media, are like cat toys dangling in front of our faces, just distractions and sidesteps. They appear then disappear abruptly, without resolution, like vacant fashion. They prompt us to address our rivals with contempt that strengthens their own resolve, thereby keeping this vile game alive.

The word Karma, in common use, usually suggests a fatalistic belief that your current circumstance is the justifiable natural consequence of some former life. When used in a forward looking sense it often has a dark threatening undertone, a common phrase like “Karma’s a bitch” is used to promise suffering to someone who has offended you. The same principle is also stated “whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” When given in this form it seems to be a forward looking cautionary statement.

The past is an unchangeable reality. Even when the details of the past are not fully known or accurately given it is still the foundation upon which the present was built. The present is also a fixed reality, it is the natural consequence of everything that has already happened. The future however is a mixture of inevitability and diverse possibilities. The trajectory from the past through the present has an established energy and has set purposes. These things are an unchangeable contributing factor to what the future will become. The degree that this future can deviate from the trajectory projected by the past increases with time. The events of the next second are an almost absolute certainty. By tomorrow you may have changed your own course, in thought or in deed, in some meaningful way. As days, then weeks and years pass the outcome can become substantially different, but still you or I are each only one among countless people driving the course of history. Our relative insignificance leads to a fatalistic despair. It seems reasonable to just play along while choosing safe, comfortable, and unchallenging seats on this ride. It is tempting for those wanting to see their influence felt to join some team and enjoy the advantages of strength in numbers. Just abandoning the game seems frightening. The risk from stepping away from this battle may be smaller than you think. Sharing writing like this one on the internet is appreciated but we must realize that our digital footprint is limited by algorithmic isolation. Any notion that threatens the status-quo will be suppressed. We must tactfully share our thoughts and discoveries with those near to us and with everyone we meet. Polite society must be shaken to its core.

Before this event G.W. Bush had already introduced stimulus checks as a spark to “jump start” the economy, much like a defibrillator is used to salvage the heart of a patient in crisis. We were told that this stimulus was a mild intervention and that every thing was essentially fine. W.O.W. We are all On Welfare now. Later came long extensions of unemployment benefits acclimating those culturally averse to living on benefits to dependence on the welfare state.

Now BlackRock is limiting withdrawals. We are listing toward Bank Holiday territory. One thing has changed since 2008. The Bail-outs that were so unpopular then are now illegal. Another mechanism to restore bank solvency is in place, Bail-ins. These Bail-ins involve docking accounts to restore bank solvency.

Looking back though the decades we see events that established and altered the financialized economy.

Bail-ins, like those described above, have already been done in Cyprus. When Silicon Valley Bank was in crisis depositors were fully protected above FDIC limits because it was deemed systemically important. I doubt that we can expect similar consideration. Shouldn’t we consider the possibility that the next crisis will be used as an inducement to prompt us to accept, even clamor for, the next planned restructuring of the systems that entangle us. What reason, or excuse, for the next phase of this ongoing financial crisis will be given? Perhaps some ill-fated military adventure?

Social Credit Score: Bank For International Settlements Proposes Grading Tokenized Wallets And Enforcing 'Compliance Score' Based On Transactions To Force Behavior

Social credit scores are on their way in a tokenized economy. The Bank for International Settlements (BIS), nicknamed the “central bank of central banks,” published a short paper in August that would provide scores to tokens and digital wallets, framed as a means combating anti-money laundering (AML), based on wallet holders’ transactions…

One third of all of the United States naval assets are within striking range of Iran. This deployment is being called an Armada. Iran, with a large stockpile of missiles and drones, bolstered by Chinese and Russian hardware and intelligence must choose between unconditional surrender and full engagement. The terms and conditions of our lives at home are poised to suddenly and radically change.

Should we believe that the unrepentant promoter of the greatest mass poisoning in human history, Operation WarpSpeed, would not hesitate to sacrifice lives and hardware for some undeclared goal? The Trump administration and his newly formed Board or Peace openly herald the establishment of Technocratic governance in Gaza.

Whether or not Trump remains the Chairman of this Board of Peace, the office, and this Board, has appointed itself a nearly free hand to manage conflict zones. Could a humbled, divided, and despairing United States become a conflict zone, also subject to Technocratic governance?

President Obama declared the existence of aliens then soon after President Trump promptly promised disclosure while saying that Obama had revealed classified information. Political rivals,both domestic and international, cooperate and coordinate their efforts. Every possibility to secure and maintain authority is kept open.

Twelve voices were shouting in anger, and they were all alike. No question, now, what had happened to the faces of the pigs. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

The animals of Manor Farm surrendered and subjugated their agency after being promised secure comfort and happiness by lying pigs. Barack Obama campaigned against domestic surveillance after G.W. Bush was criticized for snooping on library records. During his term the Edward Snowden revelations served to cause the American public to accept near limitless mass surveillance. Bill Clinton lost favor as a result of the Monica Lewinsky scandal. His base of support defended him saying things like”everybody lies about sex”. Much like now, a military deployment distracted the public. Now Donald Trump’s base of support refuses to acknowledge his intimate involvement with Jeffery Epstein. The entire mainstream of the political spectrum has been led to accept that a privileged class is free to abuse, in any imaginable way, and with little or no consequence.

It is a great tragedy that we, the public, accept liability for hideous crimes and submit willingly to monsters, all because we are afraid to face uncertainty or assume any responsibility.

Congressman Buffett’s speeches in the House reflect his continuing and systematic grasp of the issue of liberty vs. statism and the key role which war and empire play in undermining the former and promoting the latter. Thus, on March 22, 1944, he protested Secretary of the Interior Ickes’s plans to spend $165,000,000 on an Arabian oil pipeline. He characterized the proposal as “this gigantic long-distance venture into imperialism.” Such an asset would have to be defended by enlarged military forces, which might be based on conscription. Said Buffett further:

“It would terminate the inspiring period of America’s history as a great nation not resorting to intercontinental imperialism. This venture would end the influence exercised by the United States as a government not participating in the exploitation of small lands and countries…. It may be that the American people would rather forego the use of a questionable amount of gasoline at some time in the remote future than follow a foreign policy practically guaranteed to send many of their sons, if not their daughters [!], to die in faraway places in defense of the trade of Standard Oil or the international dreams of our one-world planners.”

For most people, the name “Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf” evokes the image of “Stormin’ Norman,” the U.S. Army general who oversaw Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm as commander of the military’s Central Command from 1988 through the effort to eject Saddam Hussein’s forces from Kuwait in 1991. The Desert Storm general, though, was the son of Maj. Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, whose varied and colorful career took him from being the founder and commander of the New Jersey State Police (where he led the investigation into the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby), to serving as a general in World War II, training Iran’s national police, and advising Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. In 1953, he was the CIA’s asset in Tehran when the country was convulsed by a coup.

Schwarzkopf’s role has been the subject of speculation since the day after Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh’s arrest on Aug. 19, 1953. On Aug. 20, the New York Times reported on Schwarzkopf’s visit to Tehran and noted an editorial in the Soviet newspaper Pravda accusing Schwarzkopf of delivering the orders for the coup. Now, 60 years later, the CIA has confirmed his role in declassified documents obtained by the National Security Archive.

Why Bail-In? And How!

Unified Ledger for CBDCs, Tokenized Assets Could Enhance Global Financial System: BIS

Is it 2008 again yet?

This model may help to explain some of the anomalies that distinguish this object from the typical comets that originate from our own solar system. A large glassy object filled with a snow-like slush could be very reflective. I can imagine one possible way that this object could even generate its own light. A long time ago I dismantled an obsolete chlorine injection system. The entire system had presumedly been depressurized and purged. I cut into one steel pipe that was somehow still filled with high pressure chlorine gas. The first thing that I saw after the pipe was penetrated was a bright green glow from within the cut as the gas escaped through the pinhole made with the band saw. The friction of this gas escaping through the pinhole, or maybe the sudden pressure change excited the chlorine causing it a glow with florescence. 3i-Atlas’s diamond husk may have cracked early on after its contents were heated while approaching the sun. Gas escaping from micro-fissures and porous regions could glow, much like the chlorine escaping from the damaged pipe did. This model can explain another optical anomaly. Around perihelion during 3i-Atlas’s closest approach to the sun the object’s color shifted from green to blue. At this distance from the sun, typical objects from our own solar system are expected to glow red because of the sun’s heat. The model that I propose has two blue shifting qualities. Diamond can be fluorescent, typically emitting blue light. The exotic carbon dioxide crystal within this diamond husk also has unique optical properties. Quartz-like carbon dioxide crystals have been manufactured in pressurized chambers. When a red laser was used to examine the crystal through an inspection port, blue light was returned. The light frequency was doubled, not by defying conservation of energy but by absorbing two photons then emitting one.

Consider the appearance of images formed when trying to resolve the nucleus of 3i-Atlas. Notice the flashing light and sudden color changes. Notice also the diverse, changing, angular, geometric structures that are seen. This light show offers bright polygonal panels, bright spots arranged with regular geometries, and faint line segments drawn between features. These spectacles flash in varied combinations and diverse sizes. It looks as if a faceted gemstone(the CO₂ crystal) is spinning or tumbling within the diamond husk, reflecting and refracting light and projecting images onto the surface of the diamond husk. The prism like refraction can explain the flashing and the color shifts. The axis and period of rotation of the internal bodies may be different than that of the diamond outer surface. With this in mind these successions of images may be used to calculate a clearer, more accurate model of 3i-Atlas’s internal and external core features.

Consider also the long, narrow, persistent sunward anti-tail. This may not be a high energy stream of large or small particles, but it may instead be another optical phenomenon. In some video, published by amateur astronomers, this anti-tail seems to flash much like the object itself. The husk of 3i-Atlas may form a light collimator. The internal CO₂ crystal might even be a naturally occurring laser. If so, the light beam is seen by illuminating the particles between the sun and the source. This explains how this apparent tail remains coherent for great distances.

Let us now consider the persistent sunward orientation of the anti-tail. Imagine a dart being dropped from any great height. The fins of this dart will cause its tip to reliably point toward the ground. 3i-Atlas may have some asymmetrical feature that is in effect, similar to the dart fins. Its travel, as it falls toward the sun, through a sparse atmosphere of dust and rocks may have oriented the object directionality.

Let us now do a falling elevator thought experiment. Near the moon, drop spherical shell containing a spinning gyroscope such that the gyroscope and shell fall at the same rate. The gyroscope remains suspended within the shell as if it were in a zero gravity environment until it strikes the surface of the moon. Even if external influences cause the shell to rotate on any axis, but without disturbing its linear travel, the gyroscope’s axis of rotation will remain true to the moon’s gravitational field even though it is in a zero gravity environment and cannot see outside of the shell that now spins around it. Now imagine that this gyroscope and shell assembly is not falling straight down but is instead in a decaying orbit that is expected to crash on the far side of the moon. According to the gyroscope’s frame of reference, which way is down in the moment before crash landing? If this gyroscope’s orientation has changed relative to the center of mass directed gravitational pull of the moon then we have may have found the sixteenth century ætheral frame of reference. 3i-Atlas is spinning, and was a gyroscope falling toward the sun. Its blind inertial frame of reference always sees down as toward the sun’s center of mass. Furthermore, the fluid slurry and exotic gemstone, free to move, and with presumedly differing densities, could cause a tidal locking type effect. The direction of 3i-Atlas’s anti-tail has not changed, while passing the sun, according to its own blind, inertial frame of reference.

Stop the video below occasionally to examine the geometric shapes.

The last five minutes of the first video below shows a good display of color shifting.

“Drink waters out of thine own cistern”

The recent, so-called, Twelve Day War, and the ongoing conflict that escalated dramatically after the events of October Seventh 2023 deserve our scrutiny. October Seventh was called Israel’s 9/11. Even though so many of us have grown suspicious of the official 9/11 narrative, it is successfully used as an emotional foundation to skew our judgments about current events. Waving the 9/11 banner should however raise suspicion especially since questioning the narrative of this event has become so widely accepted that Donald Trump, as a candidate in 2024, and even early in his second term, promised revelations about this and other suspicious matters. To my knowledge, no meaningful disclosure has been forthcoming. He even reaffirmed the official 9/11 narrative during memorial ceremonies in 2025. The world that we imagine is built on lies. Our thoughts are guided by leaders that we already know are lying to us.

Many people have questioned how a border that is so well defended and constantly monitored as Israel’s could have been breached so easily on October Seventh, and why the defensive response was slow and inadequate. During the “Twelve Day War” there were credible reports of the Iron Dome missile defense system not just failing but actually being used to bomb targets within Israel. Those who want a pretext for war have ways to generate support among the public.

What sort of stage is now being set? Knowing that past events were engineered to provoke our reactions, shouldn’t we try to anticipate what may happen next?

Items needed to properly furnish a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem have already been made and priests have been trained to resume ritual sacrifice and service in the temple. A practice run of burning a Red Heifer to produce the ash that will be needed for purification rituals has already occurred. One impediment to rebuilding this temple is that the al-Aqsa mosque is standing on the grounds where this temple would be built. From September Seventeenth 2025; “Jews and Christians visited the Temple Mount on Wednesday afternoon to sing and pray in remembrance of American conservative influencer Charlie Kirk”. It may seem odd to choose such a provocative venue for a memorial service unless its real purpose is to provoke, but clearing the site to rebuild a temple will be an even more difficult provocation to manage.

How would you clear the lot if you were writing the script? If I were managing this show, I would arrange an accident for this purpose. Perhaps “Trump’s 20-point Gaza peace” won’t go smoothly. Perhaps an errant missile from Iran, Yemen or some other enemy could be caused to strike this mosque. Just imagine the excitement such a miracle would cause. People still respond to claims that the hand of God spared Donald Trump’s life from an assassination attempt in July 2024, even-though it seems unlikely that he was ever in danger on that day. Some vital holy relic may even be found beneath the rubble, further ensuring enthusiasm for the project.

When human hands create the tragedies and the miracles that guide us, continual intervention is needed to sustain or alter the chosen course of events. Those who write these scripts know the beliefs, hopes, and fears of the various groups of humanity and write those into the script. All of their schemes ultimately fail, but they know to expect this too. The “Empire of Chaos” is built on failure.Every crisis creates an urgent need for solutions and becomes the excuse to assume more authority. Staging the initiation of a messianic age supported only by human artifice will require peoples thoughts and actions to be extremely regulated.

The first item in this 20-point plan for ending the nearly two-year war in Gaza is, “Gaza will be a deradicalised, terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbours” and it will most certainly require thorough surveillance. If this 20-point plan fails and some more spectacular scenario is arranged this type of surveillance will still be required. Unifying all of humanity in one purpose is no small task. There are still many competing visions and though they overlap substantially they cannot coexist. This regional conflict reaches into all of the globe so if peace is to suddenly erupt these precautionary controls must extend into the entire world. Controls like contact tracing, monitoring of all communications, and a requirement for approval of every economic transaction will be needed. These mechanisms to regulate our transition into a New Age are already the longstanding stated ambitions of the ruling class. In his book UNESCO: its purpose and its philosophy, Julian Huxley wrote this, “The fact of human difference has another implication for Unesco. Every encouragement should be given to the study of distinct psycho-physical types. Such work has been begun by men like Kretschmer, Draper and Sheldon, but needs to be pushed much further before secure generalisations can be drawn from it. When the time comes, however, they will be important. For one thing they will be of great value in job selection, in picking those who are most likely to profit from a particular sort of training or are most suitable for a particular kind of work. Conversely, we shall then be enabled to lay down that certain types of men should be debarred from holding certain types of positions. Already considerable progress has been made, though largely on an empirical basis as yet, in fitting the right man to the right job-notably by the Selection Boards for officers which were set up during the late war.” There has been no change to this end game, the conclusion that we are already being driven toward. There will be no change in the management of humanity. Only the form that this management assumes will change to accommodate our advancing subjugation.

No matter how close to this next reality, a staged messianic age, we can be driven, it too must fail. Some miracles cannot be supplied by even advanced technologies. Sickness, death, and dissatisfaction will remain. This new order may resort to openly stating that we are all just property with no hope for escape, and that the best thing we should expect is to be given a reasonably comfortable station within plantation life. They may however, be already preparing the stage to pull yet another rabbit out of their hat.

Is an alien invasion too much to hope for? Why not? Confidence in human leadership is low. Artificial Intelligence is suspect. The United States has held congressional hearings to investigate UFO phenomena. Story-lines that weave human history and human origins into a narrative that involves nonhuman interventions are already available. Mauro Biglino “Translator of 19 books of the Old Testament with Edizioni San Paolo, the scholar in ancient languages” has offered opinions that could be used or adapted to introduce just such a narrative shift.

These aliens would make a prefect prop, to be the ones who pick up the managerial ball after this “Empire of Chaos” has failed spectacularly once again.

We humans have advanced to become genetic engineers, but as novices in this creative practice we are still clumsy, careless, and accident prone. DNA contamination found in mRNA injections will require miraculous cures that a man made Messianic age cannot deliver. Not only have we already caused irreparable damages to our genetic integrity, we persist to bumble our way carelessly toward still more dangerous genetic interventions. There are even procedures being developed to use even more genetic intervention to try to mask the damages caused by the first.

Current human governance seems unable to untangle this knot. Aliens, introducing themselves as our creators, the original gene editors, can be brought in to assume control of the project. They may announce that a Star Trek-like Prime Directive has prompted their reappearance at this time. Since we are gaining mastery of genetic engineering the risk of disaster is too great for them not to intervene. They will step in as guides, shepherding us toward an unimaginably happy future. We will be given an opportunity to happily exterminate our own species while attempting to create our replacements.

The vision of this dream seems ominous and fatalistic but visions are just imagery. It is our job to use intelligence to give constructive meaning to visions. I have always remembered this fascinating dream and in recent times it seems as if I have lived to see a world that resembles the dream. Instead of interpreting the meaning to be that we must watch helplessly while our world is destroyed let us take it as a warning. Just knowing what is happening is not enough. Unless we go outside and do something to alter this course we will ultimately be destroyed. We have already yielded too much ground, it is now late in the game.

Some very credible people are sounding the alarm openly, saying that the stakes are so high that we must be willing to fight and even to die in order to avoid an unacceptable future. They are right, but reasonable people imagine themselves going outside and being consumed while their neighbors watch from their own windows, waiting for their turn to be devoured.

We should consider now how to salvage this world and to salvage ourselves, while limiting damages and suffering. We must go outside and then become something more than spectators. We will need to bring these neighbors who are still watching from their own windows out into the field. You may now be imagining some violent confrontations with authority, but consider this. The enemy does back down more often than you imagine. This is seldom realized because the play that we are shown is taken at face value, it is seen as if events are unfolding naturally and unguided. If we ignore the stated reasons, and then begin to analyze these events as causes and effects we become able to infer their purpose and to see the trajectory that this world is on more clearly.

For example, think back to March Eighteenth 2023. Donald Trump published his expectation that he would be arrested the following Tuesday. He instructed his supporters to “ PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!”. There was no arrest until another Tuesday, two weeks later, on April Fourth, but this time there was no similar request for protesters to take our nation back. Allow me to infer, the things that we were not told, and to suggest that this event was engineered as a tool of narrative management. “The People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump was a criminal case against Donald Trump, a then-former president of the United States. Trump was charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to conceal payments made to the pornographic film actress Stormy Daniels as hush money to buy her silence over a sexual encounter between them; with costs related to the transaction included, the payments totaled $420,000.” When thinking of this episode as a tool of narrative management, one must concede that Trump’s indiscretions with a porn star were not a great enough offense in the minds of his base of support to overcome the revulsion of being faced with the prospect of a Biden victory. The case was clearly, conveniently timed to serve the political drama for a season. Partisans on both teams were satisfied with rage and contempt. If another of his many indiscretions had been brought to mind the whole game may have become unmanageable. The Katie Johnson 2016 court case, charging Donald Trump and Jeffery Epstein with her brutal rape as a minor, has gotten very little attention. Such a case could severely destabilize the script. Too many players on both teams are close friends with Epstein. It also would have made it more difficult to appoint Trump as the next man up. Then consider the matter of rescheduling the arrest for two Tuesdays later. Why was there no call from Trump this time to “ PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!”. My reasonable presumption is that analysis of monitored electronic communications revealed that not enough Trump supporters were inclined to risk being involved in another January Sixth type event, to make a good show. The two week delay was a cooling off break designed to maintain an illusion of narrative cohesion.

So now finally back to the point that I was trying to make. They do back down frequently, but we never see it because we are watching the show as if events can be taken at face value, and as presented, without inferring for ourselves their real purpose.

We react to current stimuli with a very current short term focus, while their reversals are only course corrections in response to our reactions. Their ultimate purposes never change. Refer back to the quote given earlier from Julian Huxley’s book. He is openly declaring a goal of securing and maintaining control of humanity. That book was published three quarters of a century ago. Has that stated purpose changed at all in this time?

We too must have unwavering purposes. We must recognize the relative insignificance of transient social and political drama and focus on the greater significance of ultimate destiny. They do back down. If we sharpen our minds, recognizing that our own reactions to provocation are weapons that are used against us, and after we strengthen our resolve, their reversals will no longer be course corrections but will begin to free us from the manipulations of unworthy leaders. They will back themselves into a corner with no way to escape.

Much about the recent turn of events in Gaza looks so familiar that it seems almost like it has already happened. The ninth item that is listed in this twenty point plan is.

“Gaza will be run by a temporary technocratic Palestinian committee managing public services. This will be overseen by an international transitional body, the Board of Peace, which will be chaired by Trump and include leaders such as former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair. The Board will provide oversight and funding for Gaza’s redevelopment until the reformed Palestinian Authority is ready to resume control of Gaza.”

This is easily shown to have been in the works for some time.

Unlimited Hangout posted this article Palestine: “Peace to Prosperity” Through Technocracy in December 2023. These innovations are not only intended for Palestine, but some reason will be created to extend them into the whole world. The players involved in staging the events that we react to are persistent and steadfast, while maintaining consistent goals. Prime Minister Tony Blair for instance, has maintained a longstanding goal to require Digital I.D. Donald Trump has done his part too by enforcement of the Real I.D. Act. After two decades and with four administrations they have wearied any resistance from the States and the public.

The statement “This will be overseen by an international transitional body, the Board of Peace” is reminiscent of another statement once published by The World Economic Forum, “The U.S. won’t be the world’s leading superpower. A handful of countries will dominate” Even though Donald Trump is expected to lead this transitional body, the precedent of international bodies being established to govern troubled or disputed regions is being set as we watch.

If, or when, all of this begins to fail, we will be offered more of the same. It will be administered by those same actors who brought us here in the first place.

This all seems so familiar, even though it is still only beginning.

Spock, even while suffering this detached gleeful indifference, was still curious and pondering the “fascinating” condition of the alien. In a Eureka Moment he cried out “Jim it’s the water”. Having touched the unwell alien, its corrupted water had altered the water within the crew members. Doctor McCoy used his magic space syringe to correct the malfunctioning water within each of the crewmen, so that they could now focus on the task at hand. A small gathering of this alien’s own kind stood and watched as McCoy administered the remedy and restored the patient’s health.

Not very long ago, upon waking up, the memory of the previous night’s sleep was fading fast. The One with authority, one who is even tempered, patient, never forceful and I had been talking about three evils that go unrecognized and are even called good. He suggested that I should write about them but with memory of the previous night’s conversation fading I could not remember what they were.

I hope that these three dreams will adequately serve this need. Perhaps you have something to offer?

In 2015 AARP produced a public service announcement about family members acting as caregivers of their elderly parents. The muffled sound of a radio broadcast could be heard in the background. When the volume was amplified enough, a news bulletin about the President declaring martial law amid civil unrest could be heard. During that same year there was a military training exercise called Jade Helm, “ a strategic, unconventional warfare exercise incorporating the efforts of the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Army and took place from February 7 to May 7, with the JFE portion taking place in the last week. The exercise spanned multiple states and focused on “beyond line of sight” communications and coordination over a large geographic area.”

The PSA was never aired. It was an unpublished YouTube video. The URL was somehow discovered and shared widely among people who had grown suspicious of government. The video’s use of jade colored bath towels and a lamp stand decorated with a helmsman’s wheel added to the excitement of these Conspiracy Theorists. After the Jade Helm exercise had ended without apparent incident, news media made a laughingstock of these suspicious citizens.

Fast forward to 2025, the National Guard has been deployed in Los Angeles and the District of Columbia. There are promises to send troops to Memphis, Chicago and other cities to fight crime.

Military policing is here. Will it ever end? The State of Emergency declared on September Fourteenth 2001 by George W Bush is still in effect. In fact it is quietly renewed each year. It was most recently renewed on August Twenty-ninth 2025. There is never any mention that these emergency powers may have lapsed due to the autopen scandal. Governance by Crisis Management seems to be effective. It will continue as long as we continue to react predictably.

The sky is still falling!

There has been no sudden crash as you may expect with such a Chicken Little alarm sounding, but the sky is falling just the same. It is like a gentle rain that gradually intensifies as the day wears on. We are accustomed to being wet. We are increasingly accustomed to gust of wind, thunderclaps, and periodic deluges. This is fine. It has always been this way.

Maybe someone will guide us to safety, but who? In 2015 Alex Newman warned us that President Obama was laying a foundation to nationalize local policing. In 2016 Newman warned us that George Soros had been helping Obama and globalist forces to federalize control over American police forces under the guise of pushing “criminal justice reform.” Maybe he could offer us some insight with this context in mind, but it seems that he has changed his focus of attention since then. It seems that he has grown to believe that the man now implementing the same Federal policing that Newman once feared is somehow trying to save us. * Maybe someone else should guide our thoughts. In 2013 Brandon Smith warned us of events that now seem to be unfolding, with his essay Has America Been Set Up As History’s Ultimate “Bumbling Villain”? Since then something seems to have changed. He seems, somewhat approvingly, to acknowledge that Martial Law is upon us by writing this.

“ Before the news of the assassination I was thinking about measured responses – Particularly the subject of “martial law” and whether or not this is a justifiable solution given the circumstances, or a reaction of fear leading to a slippery slope of government authoritarianism.

Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in Washington DC has been a resounding success so far, but he can’t keep the troops there forever. The root of the disease needs to be addressed, particularly the corrupt Democrat leaders in blue cities who are keeping repeat offenders out of prisons and on the streets.

Frankly, I see martial law as nothing more than a stop gap even with the best of intentions; like giving someone morphine for their Stage 4 cancer. It feels good and takes the pain away for a little while but on the inside the body is still dying. Martial law doesn’t go far enough. The time for measured responses is over.

Consider for a moment, though, what the natural alternative is? What is going to happen next? It’s not hard to predict: It’s going to be open season on leftist activists and the elites who fund them. It’s going to be widespread vigilantism. And, honestly I welcome it. I wish that this was not necessary, but I accept the reality that it is inevitable.”

Surely he must know that Martial Law, once instituted, is no more likely to end than the State of Emergency declared after September Eleventh 2001. He makes no mention of how this stopgap can ever be rescinded.

The word Karma, in common use, usually suggests a fatalistic belief that your current circumstance is the justifiable natural consequence of some former life. When used in a forward looking sense it often has a dark threatening undertone, a common phrase like “Karma’s a bitch” is used to promise suffering to someone who has offended you. The same principle is also stated “whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” When given in this form it seems to be a forward looking cautionary statement.

The past is an unchangeable reality. Even when the details of the past are not fully known or accurately given it is still the foundation upon which the present was built. The present is also a fixed reality, it is the natural consequence of everything that has already happened. The future however is a mixture of inevitability and diverse possibilities. The trajectory from the past through the present has an established energy and has set purposes. These things are an unchangeable contributing factor to what the future will become. The degree that this future can deviate from the trajectory projected from the past increases with time. The events of the next second are an almost absolute certainty. By tomorrow you may have changed your own course, in thought or in deed, in some meaningful way. As days, then weeks and years pass the outcome can become substantially different, but still you or I are each only one among countless people driving the course of history. Our relative insignificance leads to a fatalistic despair. It seems reasonable to just play along while choosing safe, comfortable, and unchallenging seats on this ride. It is tempting for those wanting to see their influence felt to join some team and enjoy the advantages of strength in numbers.

Consider this illustration of how this tactic works against us in reality. Imagine a Tug of War contest with two equally matched teams pulling against each other. The rope has a heavy weight attached at the center. The contestants imagine that they are pulling against each other in opposite directions 180° apart. Coaches urge them to pull harder, while in reality they are pulling one from 10° and the other from 170°. Every time one team or the other gains some advantage the burden at the center of the rope shifts roughly in one direction or the other charting a zigzag line in a direction that none of these combatants want to go. Still, just abandoning the game seems frightening. Those despicable people on the other team might win. I’m pretty sure the coaches on either side don’t want this game to end. The risk from stepping away from this battle may be smaller than you think.

Consider also the conversations we have. Have you noticed that everyone seems to focus on the same matter at the same time, and how the convincing arguments offered often seem to be stock items that are copied and passed around. I remember that during the time leading up to the 2020 Presidential election, one team of the jeering crowd had begun to call Joe Biden “Creepy Joe”. Back then, Google auto-fill suggestions would never suggest “Creepy Joe Biden” even when I had typed the inquiry to the last letter. I soon noticed that these jeering crowds had shifted their slur from “Creepy Joe” to “Sleepy Joe”. I was wondering who among the thought leaders was leading this shift until I noticed that Donald Trump had begun working this name “Sleepy Joe” into his sentences as often as possible. The coaches on the sidelines of this Tug of War had altered the tactic. The combatants who supply the energy that keeps this game alive dutifully played along, with not one in one-hundred pausing to have an original independent thought. It is as if the creepy aspect hit a little too close to home for the game’s sponsors, or maybe it risked bringing the contest to some decisive conclusion. Our conversations are hollow. They are a shifting self perpetuating feedback loop with little substance, so much so that both teams are mirror images of each other. They are both identical and polar opposites at the same time.

Let us return now to the topic of Martial Law, this time not as current events but in an historic context. I have used Kitty Werthmann’s account of Austria’s having welcomed Hitler’s government more than once already. With Communist and Nazis fighting in the street, Austrians were desperate. Communist were rioting and destroying property. Austria held a referendum and invited Hitler to restore order. Does the situation that she described not resemble what we are witnessing now? Should we presume that we are somehow inherently wiser than Austrians were? We may even dare to project something about how events may unfold after this next order ultimately fails. Beyond Hitler’s rise consider his defeat as documented, by James Corbett, in Why We Must Oppose Bilderberg. This documentary, about the once infamous Bilderberg group, proceeds to reveal how after Germany’s defeat became imminent, Nazi industrialists and collaborators conspired to form the European Union and to establish influential groups to guide international relationships. This time however, the ultimate order may not be regional but global.

So this strength in numbers should take a new form. Take a lesson from the two analyst mentioned earlier. In a former season they seemed to serve as good resources for informed opinion and analysis, but recently their judgement or purpose may be failing. This should remind us that with each passing moment as our future is becoming the new unchangeable past, we are constantly alone, left again on our own, to make judgements and to choose a course. A group banded together for strength while devoted to strong leadership is unstable. Every error, by being ubiquitous, becomes a fatal mistake. Every small deviation from rightful purpose becomes a moral tragedy. Any group in need of a strong leader can become a tool in the hands of some would be tyrant.

Keep this in mind also, those who constantly sow confusion while setting and resetting the stage are not infallible but they do have one great advantage. Their advantage is consistency of purpose. Every failure is a new starting point, the course is corrected but the goal remains the same. The Empire of Chaos is built on failure. Failure is its strength. This is how we are kept confused, with near term goals that constantly change and no time given to consider fundamental questions. We should take a lesson from them also by choosing what purposes that we will serve, prioritize them, and correcting our courses when needed, all while remaining steadfast in purpose.

A vast horde of active, independent, conscientious minds will not react so predictably. Such a group will not be easily lead to waste there strength by playing someone else’s game.

The Ghost Dance (Caddo: Nanissáanah, also called the Ghost Dance of 1890) is a ceremony incorporated into numerous Native American belief systems. According to the teachings of the Northern Paiute spiritual leader Wovoka (renamed Jack Wilson), proper practice of the dance would reunite the living with spirits of the dead, bring the spirits to fight on their behalf, end American Westward expansion, and bring peace, prosperity, and unity to Native American peoples throughout the region.

The basis for the Ghost Dance is the circle dance, a traditional Native American dance. The Ghost Dance was first practiced by the Nevada Northern Paiute in 1889. The practice swept throughout much of the Western United States, quickly reaching areas of California and Oklahoma. As the Ghost Dance spread from its original source, different tribes synthesized selective aspects of the ritual with their own beliefs.

The Ghost Dance has been associated with Wovoka's prophecy of an end to colonial expansion while preaching goals of clean living, an honest life, and cross-cultural cooperation by Native Americans. Practice of the Ghost Dance movement was believed to have contributed to Lakota resistance to assimilation under the Dawes Act. The Lakota variation on the Ghost Dance tended towards millenarianism, an innovation that distinguished the Lakota interpretation from Jack Wilson's original teachings. The Caddo still practice the Ghost Dance today

The Ghost Dancers sought to dignify and to preserve their culture. The prophecy and ritual were innovations that failed to achieve the desired result.

John Nelson Darby and Cyrus Scofield popularized a belief that Christians would escape the suffering of the final horrifying years that are expected before the return of Jesus. Can a man who taught Two-thousand years ago reasonably be expected to honor promises from a myth that was created less than Two-hundred years ago, only because the central character of that myth was given his name? This is an exceedingly destructive belief. It creates a false expectation of a miraculous deliverance and it promotes an attitude of indifference toward the future.

Do these two verses give instructions that contradict each other? Perhaps instead, they are prompts meant to cause us to consider in advance what result our words and actions may have. There are at least two possible courses to choose from when we face someone who seems to us to be foolish. Now add this.

This adds even more potential for consideration. What if we ourselves are foolish in our own turn? We should never fail to consider this possibility.

“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.” This verse is commonly used to condemn the failure of the Jewish teachers from Two-thousand years ago, but in the spirit of finding prompts to consider from all possible viewpoints, shouldn’t we look for a more general, even universal principle? What if we ourselves have assumed the role of the Pharisee? What is so bad about being a proselyte anyway? A proselyte is one who has accepted the teachings of another as dogma. It is as if some other ordinary person’s explanations were from the mind of God. “Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.”.” Here again, shouldn’t this apply equally to any human teacher, not just to ancient Pharisees and Sadducees?

When traveling through Samaria, Jesus said to the Samaritan woman at the well, “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” The word spirit can be interpreted as meaning something as mundane as purpose or intent, or could it be something very mysterious, something that is perceived in a fashion that can not be shown to another. Truth however is a more concrete notion. If you are not honest with yourself, not only about what you claim to believe, but also about why you have chosen some belief, then you cannot be truthful. If you adopt some belief only because someone else or those around you all promote this belief then you are a proselyte. Even if the origins of these beliefs were perfect, every misunderstanding, every distortion, and every abuse of this truth along its line of transmission is accumulative. “A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.”

With no perfect standard bearer in view, truth and spirit or purpose become objects that must still be sought. Let us examine the appointment of Matthias as an Apostle from the account given in Acts Chapter One. Jesus, after teaching his followers about the Kingdom of God for forty days, commanded them all to not leave Jerusalem and to wait. They failed. They couldn’t wait even ten days, but instead set about the administrative work of replacing Judas with a new Apostle. They themselves chose two candidates then presumed that by casting lots that their new appointment would become God’s choice. They failed to follow a simple instruction, to wait, then they formed a sort of government which imposed its own decision on God. They did not claim responsibility for a course of action that they themselves had chosen. They narrowed the field of choices to two candidates. They then presumed to allow the voice of God to be heard by a coin toss, but only within the constraints of this narrowly chosen field. Nowhere in this account is the voice or the hand of God explicitly mentioned. Thus it was shown early, how easily this new Church could jump off the rails.

The entirety of Church history soon becomes a confusing tangle of division, political ambition, and attempted reforms. No part of this fragmented body can claim with certainty to possess its authentic original spirit or purpose. If any have inherited the clean copy they most certainly must have drawn the lucky straw when lots were being cast.

If we are truthful, we will acknowledge that no one that you will ever meet at this time has seen Jesus. It is you that they see. You and I must also consider that we are not all that has been seen. They have seen Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker. Jim still has a lucrative ministry. They have seen Kenneth Copeland, Jimmy Swaggart, Harold Camping, and Ravi Zacharias. They have seen the Pope and they know that the government that he leads has hidden crimes and has protected abusive priest from their victims. They have been approached by strangers and acquaintances, who eagerly exhibit unsettling belligerence, while they are trying to make proselytes.

The meme shown below is circulating.

In the spirit of trying to see every matter from all possible views shouldn’t we ask ourselves: What happens to sinners when we enjoy their company? How would you react if some prominent leader called you and your kind “a basket of deplorables”, then her proselytes chimed in enthusiastically? Has this game of trading insults ever yielded anything of constructive value, or does it just indulge our desires for hostile entertainment?

Governor Mike Huckabee posted a joke about some of the horrible injuries recently suffered because of sabotage. Governor Huckabee is continually publicly displaying his Christianity. He hosts a television show on Trinity Broadcasting Networks.

Did Mike miss this page when he read the Book, or does he pick and choose only those parts that are convenient,pleasant or flattering to him? These verses not only give behavioral instruction but also warn of the consequences of failing to heed the instruction. How can such a prominent representative of the religion of peace, one who reaches so many of the faithful and one who has professional connections in ministry, not have been warned of this grave error.

Years ago souvenir shops, stocked with fragile items, would put signs on the shelves saying “If you broke it you bought it”. The verse above is like that sign. Not everything that makes us uncomfortable or makes us feel threatened is persecution. Sometimes we are just paying our bill.

Franklin Graham, the well respected legacy minister, is delving into politics. His statements like “he cusses when he gets mad” are a thin veneer in defense of Donald Trump, a candidate who is a known sexual predator. *!* Neither Graham or Trump has yet repented of their promotion of Operation Warp Speed, even though in retrospect this rushed medical intervention is now clearly a Genocide. Graham even encouraged people to take the mRNA shots. Trump has said that he has no need to be forgiven of anything.

It is understandable how people can be so easily led to choose the lesser evil, after all if we are on a slower road to Hell we will be better acclimated when we arrive. Choosing the lesser evil through many cycles does however tend to increase our tolerance for evil.

Watch the movie trailers for TRUMP 2024: THE WORLD AFTER TRUMP from Resurrection Pictures. Watch it guardedly with your critical mind engaged. These trailers quickly jump from one brief clip to another. They have a hypnotic effect as you are stimulated by this barrage of flatterys and insults. It may seem as if you are being given a guided tour of your own mind. The flatterys are affirming and ring of truth but it is the threatening insults that really keep the faithful on the reservation. When we are not careful we suspend our own discernment and judgment then surrender it to thought leaders. We become proselytes. Under the influence of these thought leaders, just like those who appointed Matthias to be an apostle, we impose on God. We present our adopted purposes and procedures as if they were from God. We never become responsible actors.

This exhortation to pray for those with authority is not distinguished from those prayers that are prescribed for all men, except perhaps that the purpose to “lead a quiet and peaceable life in all goodness and honesty” is added. We are not exhorted to petition for their career successes or matters of policy. We are advised to ask that we remain unmolested by authority and are free to “lead a quiet and peaceable life”. The impositions of those who insist that their favorite lesser evil will secure God’s favor are not godly or honest, because they must corrupt themselves to justify this chosen evil.

With only two very bad options offered, what can we do?

  In his dream, the reason given that Nebuchadnezzar was condemned to eat grass for seven years is this,” to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.” This reason is always cited as indicating God’s primacy in human affairs. What is seldom recognized is that it reveals an organizing principle of human society.

 We have no reason to expect our rulers to be morally superior humans. Those in positions of great influence must realize some form of the principle illustrated by Nebuchadnezzar’s dream. Our rulers appear to act on a need to corrupt those that they rule. Our shortsightedness makes us fit and deserving to be ruled by those who are clever but horribly corrupt, those” basest of men”. This organizing principal is a natural law. It is the means by which the hand of God guides human affairs. Perceiving, understanding, and acting on this principle will give us a tool to shape the future world.

Currently, society is turned against itself. Led through fear to a despair that prompts all of us to corrupt ourselves. The feedback loop that causes those in authority to become an unflattering mirror, one that displays the worst of what we are or what we are becoming is broken. The feedback that could empower ordinary people is not accomplished by petitioning authority to deliver virtue. We must cultivate this virtue first within ourselves.

We have no meaningful direct access to those with authority. If we want to pretend to be in the game we must accept roles as cheerleaders, pawns, and spectators. To achieve our rightful influence, and only after cultivating our own selves, we must communicate openly, directly, and unafraid but carefully, with those near to us. We can lead by the example of allowing their thoughts to visit our own minds so that in a spirit of friendship we challenge each other.

Imagine talking to doctors or pharmacists about regulatory capture and the perverse financial incentives that are built into the current system of medicine. Your few encounters may have little or no transformative influence but when this type of frank encounter becomes the norm those who you reach will eventually be driven by conscience to challenge their superiors. In old public service announcements Smokey Bear would say “only you can prevent forest fires”. No one presumed this to mean that by themselves they could prevent all fires. We knew that each of us were being reminded to be careful with matches. Imagine talking to police about what types of enforcement requirements could cause them to question their role in society. Prompt them to consider who they serve and protect and why. When talking to soldiers, forgo the ritual “thank you for your service”. Instead express your concern that civil authorities often abuse their willingness to stand in harm’s way. Express your dismay that foolish deployments are instruments of destruction that waste blood and treasure.

If we turn the world upside down and shake it gently we will stop being cheerleaders, pawns, and spectators on a stage that others have set. We can become the ones who set a stage that the future will be built upon.

“Winston was struck, as he had been struck before, by the tiredness of O'Brien's face. It was strong and fleshy and brutal, it was full of intelligence and a sort of controlled passion before which he felt himself helpless; but it was tired. There were pouches under the eyes, the skin sagged from the cheekbones. O'Brien leaned over him, deliberately bringing the worn face nearer. 'You are thinking,' he said, 'that my face is old and tired. You are thinking that I talk of power, and yet I am not even able to prevent the decay of my own body. Can you not understand, Winston, that the individual is only a cell? The weariness of the cell is the vigour of the organism. Do you die when you cut your fingernails?'

When consuming media from any source, it is a good idea to not only consider the veracity of what you are told and shown, but also to discern what reaction the presentation is designed to provoke.

I was recently shown a video by The Peoples Voice called 'Sickening' Tape of Bernie Sanders Raping Boy Surfaces in New Pizzagate Files. It begins by using the allegations of Jennifer Guskin against Bernie Sanders to remind us of Pizzagate. I am not going to even consider the merit of these allegations but will instead discuss the presentation of this video and try to infer its purpose.

The first five minutes are spent discussing Sanders, then more generally people associated with Pizzagate. It thereby establishes a visceral reaction of disgust and contempt for those involved. After the emotional foundation of this presentation is set, at 5:29 the theme of the video shifts by introducing Călin Georgescu as an insider turned whistleblower. At seven minutes this “whistleblower” offers the suggestion that Donald Trump is the Monkey Wrench that threatens to destroy this evil system. But shouldn’t we ask ourselves: Why now? Why would this insider, Călin Georgescu suddenly put himself at risk by turning against a system that he has helped to build and helped to sustain?

The Switcheroo

With the emotional foundation of anger and disgust established, relief is offered beginning with the introduction of Călin Georgescu then leading to the offer of a savior in Donald Trump. This emotional setting carries through the thematic shift and helps to blunt or prevent any critical thought about the remedy that is offered. Few of us will bother to separate the components of this presentation for analysis. It is already known that most of us will never imagine anything that has not been suggested to us. It is also known that we tend to cluster in groups of people who are believed to be similar to ourselves, and that our need to find security within those groups encourages conformity.

Is Big Brother trimming his fingernails?

Accusations against Bernie Sanders and news of the arrest of public figures who once debunked Pizzagate are not needed for us to realize the depravity of so many people who are prominent within influential institutions. Cindy McCain once confessed, “Epstein was hiding in plain sight. We all knew about him.” So why now, are we being prompted to react, instead of back then? Long standing institutions are now failing in ways that are not easily hidden. Some dramatic shift is needed to continue the systematic subjugation of humanity.

The pendulum of political and cultural change swings more dramatically with each passing cycle. After one administration’s shtick wears thin a new and supposedly radically different one is brought in to continue the degrading process. It is like a tag team wrestling match, with us stuck in their corner. We are too confused by the pummeling to realize that both champions are on the same team. We focus on matters of controversy that are suggested in media. These points of contention are often superficial, but even when important matters are included, the focus of our attention is shifted so constantly and quickly that we remain disoriented.

What if we broke free from the influence of narrative managers even briefly, and then chose for ourselves where to focus our attention? We may choose to consider the trajectories that continue with each changing of the guard, instead of focusing on whatever current outrage is being offered to the masses for consideration.

Governance by crisis management seems to never end. The National Emergency previously declared on September 14, 2001 continues to this day. Not only does it continue but it is deliberately renewed annually by the president’s signature. G.W. Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden are all on board when it comes to governance by crisis management. The Covid-19 incident was initiated earlier than most people realize. The Debt Ceiling was suspended on August 2 2019 by Donald Trump. This cleared the way for limitless funding of a military deployment against the people of The United States and against the rest of the world. This funding was made available without the bother of securing funds during the heat of battle. When the Trump team tagged out, this genocidal baton was handed to the Biden team. Our pummeling continued and we remained confused, because we were convinced that some radical change in leadership had occurred.

Big Brother is trimming his fingernails!

The “Empire Of Chaos” is built on failure. Nothing creates demand for, or acceptance of authoritarian government quite like fear and despair. In a panicked state we are convinced that our strongman will fix things, and that he will correct the course of the nation, that is, if only our foolish neighbors, and the team that insults us and flatters them, would just get out of the way. It is as if we are all cheerleaders, on the sidelines, watching some reality television show that has the power to touch every part of our lives. We spend a great deal of energy finding fault with the opposing would-be leader, and we spend our time antagonizing the other team’s cheer-leading fan-base, all just to maintain a frenzied enthusiasm within our own camp, and while making excuses for our own standard-bearers’ failures. Imagining any other options, or correcting our own champion’s goals or tactics seems futile, after all, it’s a two party system.

The video about Bernie Sanders and Pizzagate switched its theme midway so that our emotional reaction would guide our responses to the conclusions suggested in the later half of the video.

Shouldn’t we always pause to wonder what we are being led to by any presentation from any media, whether it is deemed as from friendly media or as from adversarial media? Shouldn’t we all strive to keep in mind how we were all led in the past? Shouldn’t we bring forth memories of events , facts, and older story-lines to aid our analyses, especially when nobody is prompting us to do so?

Some of you may have noticed The Epoch Times’s growing prominence in conservative media in recent years. Try this test by conducting two searches. Use Google because Google still offers a count of the approximate number of matches found. Try a site: search for “CCP virus” on https:www.theepochtimes.com/. At this time I got about 2,270 results. Now try a different site: search on Epoch Times, one for "Ralph Baric". I got five results. (some results are duplicate)

We must decide for ourselves what this suggest about how The Epoch Times is leading us. What do they want us to think about and how are they prompting us to react? Using a term like “CCP Virus” to describe the cause of what we have suffered, is clearly a tactic that shifts all blame, and our attention toward Chinese institutions. Despite obvious Chinese involvement, couldn’t we benefit from devoting some of our limited mental and emotional energy differently? The Wuhan Institute of Virology worked in close cooperation with Ralph Baric’s lab at The University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. We have no reasonable expectation that Chinese institutions will cooperate fully with our need for discovery, but domestic labs can be compelled to divulge all records and communications related to the development and the release of biological warfare agents. By allowing our attention to be guided by media such as The Epoch Times we are four years behind in our understanding of the terrible reality that the whole world still faces.

Now back to the tag team wrestling match. One of the champions has rested while standing outside of the ring. He is now ready to tag back in having secured plausible deniability for his participation in creating pandemic hysteria and for his part in creating the growing inevitable debt crisis. I hesitate to say anything that may reinforce a belief that election theater has any great significance of its own. I prefer instead to suggest that this show becomes important because we react predictably. Our attention becomes focused on the immediate dramatization at the expense of any considerations about how we will manage the ongoing future and without proper consideration of what we already know about how we all fell into such peril.

We are like teenagers, adamantly confident of our opinions while never realizing that they are only echoes of the prompts that are ubiquitous in the environment. Not one in one-hundred of us ever bother attempting to compose our own reasonable narrative, a worldview that accommodates everything that we have seen and heard through a course of decades, while acknowledging what is yet uncertain or unknown.

The verse above is taken from The Yoga Sutras of Pantanjali. Such books are often considered to be only spiritual in nature but this verse seems to be given as practical guidance in this mundane world. It is a human analysis of our own nature as creatures with the capacity for complex language and it suggests caution about the careless use of this aptitude. It offers concepts that enhance our ability to communicate and that also suggest techniques to more clearly categorize symbols, ideas and objects.

Human life is short. Several decades of observation with accurate memory are required to begin to develop an appropriate perspective of this world. Childlikeness is the domain of children. Our duty as adults is to create an environment conducive to the proper development of children for the benefit of a time beyond our own existence. Unfortunately the biological reality of our physical existence imposes a burdensome challenge. Our perspectives, with adequate experience and enough time for contemplation, are only beginning to develop during the short span, within a human lifetime, that is ideal for reliable and safe reproduction.

“Honour thy father and thy mother”

But how should we honor our fathers and mothers? Clearly not everyone who has born children is praiseworthy. We enter this world without experience. We begin our lives helpless and guided by little more than unconditioned instinct. It is necessary that our parents and the circumstance that they brought us into must condition our reactions to this world. This allows us to function as active participants within human society by creating a synthesis of crude copies of the examples that we observe and of the lessons that are taught by those who are near enough to us to be influential. Our native aptitudes and the attitudes, beliefs and behaviors that we are taught are gifts that should be accepted with humility. They are not accomplishments. We should not take credit for what we did not create ourselves. We honor our parents by using these gifts as a foundation, while we grow to assume the duty of cultivating ourselves. We honor our parents by initiating the processes of growth and adaptation within our own children and for those who are inclined to follow our example.

We view ourselves and others as belonging in sets of very polarized categories. These categories are typically grouped in clusters like opinion sets that can be chosen. This very linear system appears as a spectrum. Because we are able to choose positions within this spectrum that are near, beyond, or between the presumed extremes we enjoy the illusion of having minds of our own. This system is linear. It is one dimensional.

Now imagine that instead of just left and right we see that North, South, East, and West are all possible. Suddenly an infinite number of possibilities appear in a plane. If a pole is added the possibilities expand into all of space. We who have stepped away from the constraints of a one dimensional linear system can now find a place within a universe that once before had been unimaginably vast.

You and I, though still miles apart, can look at those still trapped within the polarizing linear constraints and see this trap being moved around. It is shifted and turned while those who are in the trap move with it.

The Tea Party Movement began as a fundraising tool for Ron Paul’s 2008 presidential campaign. It soon became a more general tax protest with a strong emphasis on opposing the Affordable Care Act. In 2009 Judson Phillips founded “Tea Party Nation”.
Tea Party Nation held the National Tea Party Convention from February 4 to February 6, 2010. Sarah Palin gave the keynote address. It can be seen here on C-Span. If you take the time to watch her speech, notice how much the purposes attributed to the Tea Party had moved in other directions. A large portion of the speech was devoted to promoting military adventure. Such activity is almost a polar opposite of fiscal restraint. Also consider this: “On September Tenth 2001 Donald Rumsfeld announced that the Pentagon could not account for $2.3 Trillion.” Rumsfeld’s revelation from almost a decade earlier was never brought to mind as if some types of waste and fraud are virtuous. Did you notice also how-left wing antiwar activism seemed to disappear after Barack Obama’s election? The one dimensional spectrum of slogans, ideas, and opinion sets can be moved, or rotated. Opposing teams can even trade places while hordes of the easily led continue cheering their champions.

In 2016 Bruce Dixon wrote about Deray McKesson’s invitation to the Aspen Institute's annual “ideas festival”.

In Bruce’s words “Contrary to its hype, Aspen's Ideas Fest is not about “big ideas.” Aspen is about “big people.” Aspen is one of the social occasions where, if you're invited, you can get actual face time with the one percent of the one percent. You can hike a trail along with a Bank of America president or one of the senior partners at Booz Allen Hamilton, the accountants for the Pentagon and Department of Homeland Security. And Aspen also provides video and mic time to "thought leaders" usable for distribution to their "thought followers," and showing them in the presence of other Big People, which kind of pumps up the stature of the thought leader too. Aspen is about big people having a good time up in the mountains with other big people, flattering each other for their supposed “big ideas,” and pretending they all deserve their privileges and their power because American society as we all know is a meritocracy.” Those who already have enormous privilege and influence purchased Deray McKesson’s image to wear as a mask. These people, who already enjoy exaggerated influence, use this mask to move some faction of the hordes who are trapped within this one-dimensional narrative, to do their own bidding.

The Tea Party Movement and Black Lives Matter as labels are just words. They are symbols that serve, like flags, and as rallying points to factions of people who all presume themselves to share common ideas and purposes, but flags are easily moved. The hordes reliably follow their flag. Ideas are forgotten and purposes are abandoned. The energy of all independent, radical, or revolutionary grassroots movements are guided back into the one dimensional narrative to be reabsorbed.

Sadly, even in adulthood we remain childlike, we are far too easily led, “tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive”.

" The sound of a word, the idea behind the word, and the object the idea signifies are often taken as being one thing and may be mistaken for one another." There is a thick fog that must be penetrated when attempting to communicate. We lean heavily on the shortcut of passing words, symbols, signs, and flags back and forth. We presume that the words, ideas, and objects that the ideas describe are the same even though they have been passed through several filters, much like in whispering games that are often played by children. If we even dare to offer an opinion that diverges from the current narrative, we risk being mistaken as an enemy, as disloyal, or as insane. We provide guard duty in the very prison where we are held.

Back when the hords of humanity were riled about historic flags and hollow bronze statues Jane Dailey published this article about General William Mahone of Virginia. He was a successful confederate General who had been admired during the war but became reviled after the war because he led a reconciliation party and because he attempted to shepherd freed slaves into civil society. But what if some clever partisan from among those concerned about flags and statues had stepped out of line to form a different approach to this hostile exchange. What if someone had proposed erecting just one more statue of a Confederate General. Such a proposal could have prompted some from the ranks of those angry, contempt filled hoards to step out of line, and away from the narrow-minded narrative, and then, perhaps to dip their toe into the pool of independent thought

The polarizing narrative managers and their “thought leaders” cause us to prioritize things very badly. While our attention was drawn to this controversy about historic flags and hollow bronze statues, old fashioned open slave markets were being held in a country that had been recently destroyed by “humanitarian intervention”. To this day, the once thriving nation of Libya, a jewel in Africa’s crown, a country that welcomed migrants from less prosperous countries, still lies in ruins. We can even discover that the intent of this invasion was never humanitarian. This blood is on our hands because of our willful ignorance and our continued support of evil leaders. **

Axioms are a set of fundamental ideas or natural laws that are given as true without proof. A set of axioms includes the smallest number of given facts or presumed truths upon which all other true statements can be derived by careful accurate reason. You may be expecting a proposed list of such axioms to be given here but that will be avoided. The detachment between words, ideas, and the object that words and ideas suggest would render such a list imperfect.

Any set of valid axioms is self-consistent. When properly done one of the axioms may be removed and replaced by a fact that had been proven with the original set of axioms, such that the new set can be used to derive all of the same truths that the original set had proven. The root of these axioms may be so fundamental that they are ultimately just the foundation of physical laws coupled with the nature of any ethereal or spiritual reality that can touch this physical realm.

These axioms are neither good nor are they evil. They apply in every situation, whether we build or destroy, whether we inform or deceive. They apply equally when we struggle to survive in a corrupt environment, or when striving to preserve or create a virtuous one. They are also the same when we have given up or have resolved to do evil.

“The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.” Any list of the Axioms of our existence is subject to misinterpretation and deliberate misuse. If I propose the use of reason as fundamental, consider this: Rationalization is reason with a corrupt purpose. If purpose or intent are proposed then those who are not properly informed or adequately skilled will fail. It seems that all important matters must be approached with multiple considerations and a willingness to adjust the tactic as needed.

Is the need to arrive at some fixed ideal outcome an impediment to our progress? Imperfect and incomplete knowledge are limitations imposed on our experience and are an inescapable feature of temporal existence. Perhaps the goal is a process of continual searching, not some ultimate arrival. Good and Evil are choices that we are given to make. The Keys Of The Kingdom have been put in our hands.

A life without self-direction is like that of a park bench, a stone, or a small coin. Perhaps not a small coin, but a $100 bank note: But the Rook, Knight, Bishop, and the Queen are all just glorified Pawns. They are game-pieces, not game-players. They are all sacrificed to serve someone else’s purpose.

I dreamt that my parents had taken me back to college. This was unlike a typical returning to school dream in which one is somehow ill prepared, lost, late, or hopelessly behind in study. I looked around at the other students and realized that they were all novices while I was advanced and couldn’t fit in their society. I passed through a tunnel that led to the other side of the street, off-campus. I then entered a business known in this dream to be the Chinese Theater. It resembled a movie theater except that it was well lit. Nothing was dark. The walls, seating, and every feature of the room were bright and pristine.

I woke up, and was considering this dream as I drifted back to sleep.

Upon returning to the dream, I found myself in the theater kitchen that supplies the theater’s concession stand. A table was filled with different shapes of cut cookies all loosely fitted together like a jigsaw puzzle. A right hand with a paint brush slung brightly colored icings onto the whole field of cookies with swift wide strokes.

Admiring the beautiful scene that had been painted on this table full of cookies I began to think of what will happen to the painting after the cookies are separated and served. Would the icing that had spanned the spaces between cookies fall away and be lost, or could it remain attached to the cookies and not be wasted? Will anyone ever be able to appreciate the scene that had been painted? Then I noticed that miraculously, somehow each individual cookie bore its own intricate beautiful scene.

Life is an open-book test. We are encouraged to study together. I have noticed however, that competing cheat-sheets are circulating among the students. Both cheat-sheets include apparently correct answers that appeal to differing segments of the student body’s prejudices and play upon their fears. When these cheat-sheets are used the whole class fails.

Did you know that they have elections in North Korea? The ballots feature one candidate, a candidate who has been chosen by the party. The ballot box is monitored by a party official. It is supplied with a red pen so that voters can strike through the candidate’s name. If a majority of voters use the red pen to reject the party’s candidate a new candidate is chosen and another election is held. I am told that similar elections in Communist China occasionally overrule the party’s first choice.

When we hold elections, it seems that we fear that the forceful hand of government, (a government that assumes to have the authority to touch everything that is important to us), may pretend to represent our foolish neighbors for a term. This fear is so compelling that few of us even consider using the red pen.

I think that it is safe to assume that Tucker Carlson’s February 6th interview of Vladimir Putin can be seen as a tool of narrative management, after all both Tucker’s and his father’s careers have been devoted to this purpose. When the public was being led to want military aggression after 9/11 Tucker was on that team. Now that we are being told (better late than never) that the American Empire is in rapid decline he is serving to condition our responses. Tucker spoke about the Putin interview at the World Government Summit in Dubai. If you were favorably impressed by the Putin interview you may like what he said in Dubai, but consider this, globalist venues are not known for hosting truly adversarial conversations. Whether Carlson asked, or was asked, to speak at the World Government Summit clearly he was allowed to share their stage. His presence there must serve some purpose.

Government and corporate entities involved in governance build upon failure. Just as having an election every few years serves to facilitate the need to blame the other team for any perceived problem, while excusing your own champion for never really succeeding, any wave in cultural shift can be ridden by those who presume to have authority.

Regardless of what the narrative managers real personal opinions about cultural trends may be, the current backlash against a label, such as “woke-ism” can be guided to serve the perennial lust for authoritarianism. The historic trend is consistent. Consider this, Kitty Werthmann’s account of Austria’s having welcomed Hitler’s government. With Communist and Nazis fighting in the street, Austrians were desperate. Communist were rioting and destroying property. Austria held a referendum and invited Hitler to restore order. Does the situation that she described not resemble what we have witnessed in recent years? Should we presume that we are somehow inherently wiser than they were? Beyond Hitler’s rise consider his defeat as documented, by James Corbett, in Why We Must Oppose Bilderberg. This documentary, about the once infamous Bilderberg group, proceeds to reveal how after Germany’s defeat became imminent, Nazi industrialists and collaborators conspired to form the European Union and to establish influential groups to guide international relationships.

At first glance the E.U. and Nazi Germany may not appear similar. Repeating patterns in human societies are not easily recognized while they are in progress because we tend to focus on labels. We will be better served to strive to recognize trend lines that transcend political shifts. Labels are changed, actors, groups acting, and roles that these groups play change with each cycle. We, the shortsighted, maintain our loyalties to some standard-bearer, while failing to strive to discern what standards should be born.

“How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?”

Camille Paglia “a critic of contemporary American feminism and of post-structuralism, as well as a commentator on multiple aspects of American culture such as its visual art, music, and film history” is notably different than most social commentators in that she is often reviled by those with whom she has much in common, and she is often embraced by many who may seem to be her natural enemies. Watch as Dr. Steve Turley offers remarks about one of her earlier interviews. Notice how readily he accepts the flattery of a cultural outsider whose opinions serve to bolster his own. Now consider his failure to recognize the good example that she is setting by not being a team player. He seems to suggest that marginally informed and emotionally driven traditionalists can prevail even though history teaches that frightened desperate people will suspend their personal responsibility and judgement in support of an authoritarian, one who promises quick and easy, rewarding solutions, without sacrifice, without thoughtfulness, and without risk. Turley, like ourselves, seems to not realize that roles in the repeating cycles of history are appointed, but only because we neglect to become conscious enough to make our own choices. If political winds shift left or right why shouldn’t we expect those who are ambitious and resourceful enough to ride those waves? Stepping away from the apparent security of conformance and into the uncertainty of attempting independent thought is frightening. The affirmation of peers is comforting but answering the questions that arise whenever we are out of step requires effort.

The News is What Someone Else Wants You to Think About!

During G.W. Bush’s presidency Cindy Sheehan’s protests were prominent in the news-cycle. After Barack Obama’s election she seemed to disappear. Even though her antiwar protest didn’t end with Obama’s election the custodians of mediated reality quickly wrote her out of the story. A story-line that is constantly being imposed on the masses.

The News really is what someone else wants you to think about. When consuming media, consider your own reaction to what you are shown. What purposes do the things you feel, think, or do in response serve? Did you choose those purposes or did someone else? Do you ever properly vet the worthiness of the influences that cause you to always react predictably?

During the 2020 Democratic primary presidential debates Tulsi Gabbard got attention for her unique antiwar position. Her claim was that monies saved by a rollback of the United States Empire could be spent on domestic programs. Notably it also appeared that her campaign’s exposure may have been suppressed by tech companies.

“Tulsi Now Inc., the campaign committee for Ms. Gabbard, said Google suspended the campaign’s advertising account for six hours on June 27 and June 28, obstructing its ability to raise money and spread her message to potential voters.

After the first Democratic debate, Ms. Gabbard was briefly the most searched-for candidate on Google. Her campaign wanted to capitalize on the attention she was receiving by buying ads that would have placed its website at the top of search results for her name.

The lawsuit also said the Gabbard campaign believed its emails were being placed in spam folders on Gmail at “a disproportionately high rate” when compared with emails from other Democratic candidates.”

Similarly Donald Trump has been and sometimes still is billed as a peace candidate. His current, emotionally gratifying, tough talk includes threats to not aid in the defense of fellow NATO members that do not pay their fully assessed dues to the organization.

Both of their proposals are similarly flawed. Gabbard promised riches from the cost savings of a diminished military footprint. She failed, however, to warn her base of support, that the prestige and value of the U.S. Dollar depends on military enforcement. The phantom wealth that she promised was never certain, but the difficult adjustments of a failing national currency certainly would have been. Trump’s assertion that American money can continue to buy influence as an unchallenged hedgemon denies that the U.S Dollar’s prestige is already crumbling. They both are selling fantasies.

As for Trump being a peace candidate, consider this from 2011. Here he was seen egging President Obama on to invade Libya. He even suggested that we could have profited by being rewarded with Libyan oil. The characters used for narrative management maintain their personas from one season to the next but alter their positions and emphasis to suit the needs of the current version of the story-line being promoted.

Whether it is matters of war, domestic surveillance, financial security, or any other pressing matter, the public seems to be easily led to support actions that do not serve them well. We are quick to forget these failures when other hazards, real or imagined, are injected into our collective consciousness.

Now is a good time to sharpen our tools. A review of the history that brought us to crisis, and a pursuit of dispassionate critical independent thought are desperately needed. Choosing the lesser evil again and again, then hoping that the professional managerial class will serve us well while we sleep, has served to increase our tolerance for evil. Not assuming responsibility for the future is effectively unconditional surrender.

On October Nineteenth 2023 I posted Creative Destruction. The purpose was to suggest that the breach of Israel’s border on October Seventh served to advance published globalist goals, and also to suggest that rival nations on both sides of every conflict have some important trends in common. Since then, the threat of a broader conflict pitting Israel, The United States and some of our most loyal allies against most of the world continues to grow.

These assertions were reinforced by the introduction of Chinese warships into the area as well as Russia’s continued active presence in Syria. After the situation in this war theater devolves to the point that the U.S Israeli coalition cannot hope for a stable resolution a “handful of countries” will be ready to assume military policing of the conflict zone. When the U.S. is no longer the world’s leading superpower, as foreshadowed by the World Economic Forum’s video, which predicted that a handful of countries will dominate international affairs, these dominant nations will not need to pretend to be answerable to some distinct geographic or cultural group of people. They will be freer to use the opinions of selected experts as guidance while claiming to act in the best interest of all of humanity, or in the best interest of the planet.

Early on, the October seventh event was called Israel’s 9/11. We were told to expect a long war. This reference to 9/11 should cause us to consider the lasting impact that the 9/11 event had on our lives and to consider the impact that it had on the conduct of government.

The national emergency declared on September 14, 2001, in Proclamation 7463 has been quietly renewed annually and it continues to be in effect to this day. Even though The War Against Terror is seldom mentioned by name anymore it truly has been a long war. It continues to shape our lives. The fear that gripped Americans in 2001 and that gave rise to an eagerness for military action had so long ago subsided before our humiliating retreat from Afghanistan, that the two events are seldom thought of as connected.

Doubting the official narrative of the events on 9/11 was at one time almost universally dismissed as unpatriotic. Questioning that same narrative now however is often met by agreement from others who then cite evidence against the official story-line. Shouldn’t we anticipate similar consequences from the October seventh event?

Promises to “demilitarize, deradicalize, and eventually rebuild Gaza” and even to deport some of those who survive the war should prompt us to speculate what sorts of solutions Governance by Crisis Management may impose this time. Angry Palestinians as neighbors to frightened Israelis, or as a diaspora, could require an extreme measure to assure that all are kept safe. Constant surveillance with monitoring and analysis of all activity and of every communication just might fit the bill. Just like no one could be safe unless everyone was vaccinated, no one will be safe unless everyone is under surveillance. The idea of evaluating all of mankind individually for the purpose of placing people where they are most useful to, or at least where they are not disruptive to the system, is not a new one. In his book  UNESCO: its purpose and its philosophy,   Julian Huxley wrote this, “The fact of human difference has another implication for Unesco. Every encouragement should be given to the study of distinct psycho-physical types. Such work has been begun by men like Kretschmer, Draper and Sheldon, but needs to be pushed much further before secure generalisations can be drawn from it. When the time comes, however, they will be important. For one thing they will be of great value in job selection, in picking those who are most likely to profit from a particular sort of training or are most suitable for a particular kind of work. Conversely, we shall then be enabled to lay down that certain types of men should be debarred from holding certain types of positions. Already considerable progress has been made, though largely on an empirical basis as yet, in fitting the right man to the right job-notably by the Selection Boards for officers which were set up during the late war.”

Historic grievances are gifts that don’t stop giving.

Let us now turn our attention back to the title of this writing, “The U.S. won’t be the world’s leading superpower. A handful of countries will dominate” The World Economic Forum has become known for publishing, in some form, the goals that our narrative managers are facilitating. Should we submit to the goals that a self appointed managerial class has chosen? With the diminished prestige and influence of The United States seemingly inevitable do we have any other choice? Since the decline of American Empire is inevitable, we are obliged to wrest control of empire’s dismantling away from the self-serving people and those entities that currently guide history.

Our negligence to clearly connect history to current events as well as our willingness to react thoughtlessly to the fearsome goads that constantly prompt our own voluntary submission, make it clear that the corruption among leaders is really a grassroots phenomenon, one that concentrates itself in those with authority. This is good news. It means the solutions are within reach if we choose to discover them. Our only impediments are the fear of uncertainty and our own unwillingness to make changes within ourselves. How a process of reform can succeed is a topic that I hope to explore soon.

“The U.S. won’t be the world's leading superpower. A handful of countries will dominate” © 2024 by Mark Gresham is licensed under Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International

In 2013 I read an essay by Brandon Smith titled “Has America Been Set Up As History's Ultimate Bumbling Villain?” I have kept a copy of this essay bookmarked and I have reread it many times since then. His premise that the United States’ foolish, ineffective, and even shameful use of our military are not an accident but are a way to deliberately set a stage for its’ own humiliation and defeat. Catherine Austin Fitts has made similar comments about the United States’ financial ruin being deliberate and planned.

The World Economic Forum published a video called “8 predictions for the world in 2030”. The first statement begins “You’ll own nothing. And you’ll be happy”. This statement about being deprived of property rights has gotten a lot of attention, but we should not fail to consider the second statement: “The U.S. won’t be the worlds’ leading superpower. A handful of countries will dominate”. The W.E.F. is a forum where “CEOs, heads of state, ministers and policy-makers, experts and academics, international organizations, youth, technology innovators and representatives of civil society” meet to discuss and to plan the worlds’ collective future. Those who purchase membership easily agree, so much so that we may assume that they purchase seats at this table, in order to gain advance knowledge of which way the wind will blow, and to be in positions to profit from the trends that are being imposed.

Rival nations on both sides of every conflict have some important trends in common. Preparations are being made to adopt digital I.D. and Central Bank Digital Currencies worldwide. Ukraine, while at war with Russia, has issued digital I.D.s with digital wallets. Russia is issuing its’ own digital currency. At least one hundred countries are developing CBDCs. A feature of these digital currencies is programmability. The use of your own money will be monitored and regulated in any way that those with authority may choose. The Bank for International Settlements has proposed a Universal Ledger to register and to control ownership of assets.

China was among the first to employ contact tracing in response Covid-19 using the pandemic as reason to impose health passports. These types of internal passports can be abused. Vaccine passports have been proposed or implemented in many countries already. Influential people such as Donald Trump and Bill Gates praised China’s harsh response to the pandemic. “Current Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines was personally present and sat directly beside China’s CDC Director at the Event 201 simulation of a coronavirus pandemic which took place just weeks before COVID was revealed.”

Africa is shifting away from U.S Dollar dependence. Who can blame them for wanting to trade on better terms? Watch this video titled Kenya President publicly embarrass French President in Paris with hard facts. Even though President William Ruto seems to take an adversarial posture, are his stated positions not extremely similar to those currently being promoted by global banking institutions and national central banks? Is this a part of the dismantling of U.S. hegemony?

African peoples should want development that allows them to enjoy the benefits of their own resources and their own labor but the current course may have lasting unpleasant consequences. Consider this excerpt from Scott Savitt’s memoir Crashing the Party.

President George Bush Sr. can’t be seen to shake hands with the butchers of Beijing, so he sends the president who initiated the opening to China—Richard Nixon—to meet with the Chinese leadership and ascertain where the U.S.–China relationship stands and what’s really going on here. I’m designated the pool reporter for Nixon’s visit—this task is always delegated to a wire service reporter—and I spend the day with President Nixon driving around Beijing in his limousine. Against his security detail’s advice, he gets out on the downtown Beijing shopping street Wangfujing and shakes hands and greets citizens. Everyone recognizes him of course. In spite of his disgrace back home, in China he’s still a hero for his bold decision to travel to Beijing, meet Mao, and initiate normalization between the PRC and the U.S. Back in his limousine, I tell President Nixon that we’re graduates of the same school—Duke—and that my father was in the same class as his younger brother Ed. Nixon is delighted at hearing this news and for the rest of the day we discuss our shared love of Duke basketball. “How does it feel to be back in China, Mister President?” He looks wistful as he meets my gaze. “It’s good to be back, son.”

Apparently the Chinese were well pleased with the improved prosperity that Richard Nixon’s and Henry Kissinger’s efforts facilitated but this path to prosperity ultimately created a monster. The greatly empowered Chinese government now oppresses those within its’ realm with technology that will be difficult to escape. The United States has enjoyed the benefits of cheap manufactured goods but it now faces a credible enemy.

Africa too may enjoy benefits by becoming allies with the bank dominated emerging world order but ultimately Africans will find themselves entrapped by this technocratic system.

It is possible that the state of Israel allowed or even facilitated the recent surprise attacks, not so much as just an excuse to retaliate or even possibly expand its’ border as many suppose, but ultimately as a catalyst to expedite the advancement of global surveillance and strict financial regulation. It is not a great stretch of imagination to suggest that Israel’s early aggressive adoption of mRNA technology was an act of genocide perpetrated by the state of Israel against Israelis. They also initiated a Green Passport system of contact tracing to control access to public spaces and to promote vaccine uptake. There is no reason to suppose that Israel’s government is anymore devoted to the well-being of Israelis than any other government is devoted to its’ own citizens. Concerning Palestinians, biometric identification is already used to manage refugee crises. This too can facilitate advancement of global authoritarianism. Government by crisis management seems to be in vogue.

Before continuing I would like to bring the conclusion of Brandon Smith’s 2013 essay back to mind. It seems as relevant now as it was then.

Lets step back from the global stage for a moment and examine the situation from a different perspective.  What if the U.S. is not just a product of corruption for corruption's sake?  What if our new identity as the next historical evil-doer is part of a greater script, and America's fall from grace is meant to be used to foment the success of fantastic (but fake) protagonists in an engineered fight for a “better and more centralized world”? 

How many of us in the Liberty Movement cheered the diplomatic and strategic prowess of Vladimir Putin, for example, in the days leading to Obama's “red line” attack on Syria?  We cheered because his position was correct, and his demeanor made our government look homicidal by comparison.  We cheered his letter to TIME Magazine because we are tired of being the only people pointing out the vicious parasite our political body has become, and it was exciting to be vindicated by an outside source.  We cheered his protection of Edward Snowden, a truly courageous whistle blower that exposed the terrifying Orwellian nature of the NSA.  We watch video reports from Russia Today (RT) because they give a far more accurate accounting of the facts in the U.S. than all American media entities combined.  It is easy for us to get caught up in the idea that since the West has become the bad guy, the East must now be the good guy.

The problem is, we are being played yet again.

Putin has long called for the end of the dollar's world reserve status and the creation of a new “global structure” and a “global currency” revolving around the IMF's Special Drawing Rights:

All of this may seem fatalistic, as if our only role is to watch in horror as spectators or as pawns, or to just cover our eyes, but this need not be true. Some people have begun to suspect that the stories that we are told by media are not meant to inform us but instead are chosen and crafted to guide our thoughts, our actions, and our inaction. Some news stories are even quite obviously staged like this one. This shows us that our thoughts and the choices that we make are valuable real-estate. Why would you surrender this asset to deceitful manipulators?

Waking up suddenly to this realization may leave us in despair because there is no clear path to a better future. We have grown accustomed to forming alliances with liars who promise good outcomes. Think back to some critical time in the past, then remember what you thought and what you were told to believe then. Imagine how different your thoughts, your words, and your actions would have been if you had the perspective that you are now beginning to form.

There has never been a clear path forward that can offer a guaranteed result. With a worthy goal in mind we must take a first step without knowing what the second step will be. This is not an admonition to fail to make plans. It is a cautionary statement, not to loose sight of that worthy goal, and to remain conscious and alert so that the plan can be adjusted as circumstance changes. You may want financial disclosure, or justice, or security. I’m not sure how we will get there either, but the default is unacceptable.

We will no doubt continue to be given incentives to play along, but Like the rat said: "Keep the cheese; I just want out of the trap."

Recently renewed hype about Corona Virus is the reason that many are now expecting new Lockdowns but that is not a scientific explanation. There is a reason to presume that a lethal disease can be unleashed on the world. On October 14, 2022 researchers from Boston University School of Medicine published news that a very lethal chimera of Omicron and the ancestral Wuhan strain had been created.

The Crowned Prince of all narrative managers, Donald Trump himself, has chimed in, and in a fashion that causes me to wonder if those of us who are now rightfully primed to vigorously resist Lockdown, are being led into a trap. Consider Trump’s history. Given that in 2011 he launched a presidential campaign based on nothing but his demand to see Barack Obama’s birth certificate, should we not have expected him to honor Lt. Col. Terry Lakin’s request for a pardon, especially after Lakin had been imprisoned for making the same demand. It seems as if Laken’s request did not serve Trump’s purpose at that time, or more accurately, it did not serve the purposes of the narrative that Trump works to support.

It is not hard to imagine that Trump knew that he was leading his most loyal supporters into a trap on January 6th 2021. This search, https://presearch.com/search?q=site%3Ahttps%3A%2F%2Ftruthsocial.com%2F%40realDonaldTrump%2Fposts%20%20epps , revealed only one result, https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/108911601191627576 . Trump’s post asks if the allegation that Ray Epps’s wife works for a company affiliated with Dominion Voting is true. Surely the Trump team must be resourceful enough to answer this question. Ray Epps’s documentable behavior, as well as the failure of law enforcement to arrest him until very recently, supports January sixth prisoners’ claims of malicious prosecution. Trump, instead of effectively using the Epps matter to help vindicate his most loyal supporters, poses a question designed to lure them, to again appear foolish. This Ring Master seems able to inflame the passions of both sides of the political spectrum simultaneously.

On March Eighteenth 2023 Trump published his expectation that he would be arrested the following Tuesday. He instructed his supporters to “ PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!”. There was no arrest until another Tuesday, April Fourth, but this time there was no similar request for protesters to take our nation back. It is my presumption that analysis of internet activity revealed that not enough Trump supporters were inclined to risk being involved in another January Sixth type event, to make a good show. The two week delay was a cooling off break designed to maintain an illusion of narrative cohesion.

This speculation about narrative management, with Trump’s chiming in, is meant to support my allegation that another trap is being set. With so many people primed and ready, to react to another lockdown, and in a fashion that they may wish that they had done before, we should ask ourselves: What could go wrong?. Dr McMillan’s explanation of compromised immunity among the vaccinated, along with Boston University School of Medicine’s announcement that very lethal artificial pathogens are still being created suggest that great suffering will be inflicted on society while pandemic weary people are expecting nothing more than hype. It seems possible that a stage is being set to sucker punch, overconfident and partially informed protesters. Surely it is foolish to assume that this new spirit of rebellion goes unnoticed and unaccounted for by the narrative managers. The ability to monitor and analyze sentiment in real-time, and even to test reactions with well placed trial-balloons, is an advantage that we should dare not ignore.

This speculation and analysis may seem pessimistic or suggestive of hopelessness but that need not be so. Any large portion of Eight Billion people striving to become aware, informed and independent thinkers will become a type of organism. An organism with real intelligence that no artificially intelligent algorithm can match. The narrative managers using algorithms to guide humanity are relatively few and they have limited adaptive capacities. We are led to identify ourselves with only a few emotionally driven factions. Simple reactive systems are controllable. Complex societies of independent minded people are not so easily led.

The task of recruiting adequate numbers of our fellowmen to seek this type of enlightenment is a puzzle worth attempting to solve. Do not be afraid to have face to face conversations with all people. Be aware that most of the content that is delivered through media are prompts and provocations that are designed to guide your thoughts and your behaviors, and that all electronic communication is monitored and analyzed. If we are independent and unpredictable freethinkers we will not be easily led. The principal characters who are shown to us for narrative management purposes are beyond our reach and influence, but we are surrounded by those with lesser authority. They are within reach, they are not so different from ourselves, and they are approachable if you are only a little bit bold. If you are the only one who ever asks a doctor or pharmacist to consider and discuss information about the harm done by mRNA therapy, then they will ignore the encounter, but if a great many people are emboldened to pursue such conversation it cannot be easily dismissed. If you alone are the only one who asks the policeman if there is any law or any order that he will refuse to enforce, you will be dismissed as a nuisance, but when the general public realizes and proclaims openly that police in repressive systems are also ordinary men, then policemen may begin to seek to be respected instead of just being feared. Nobody with any authority is beyond scrutiny.

Vaccine Bait & Switch: As Millions Pulled From WHO, Trump Gives Billions To Gates-Founded GAVI

WHO Cares What Celebrities Think - #PropagandaWatch

Relatively recently, the study of quantum mechanics has introduced the idea that some amount of uncertainty is a feature of physical laws. It is no longer only the limitations of our ability to make precise measuring instruments that limits what can be known, but those limits are an inescapable feature of nature. It also appears that on the smallest scale events occur as if by chance, and that these events are guided by unknown mechanisms that follow fixed rules of probability.

Consider Richard Feynman’s discussion of light being reflected by a mirror, beginning at 1:32:03 as shown in one of the videos shared below. Even though we have very precise laws to analyze optical phenomena. and even though these laws are easy to apply, Feynman approaches the mirror using a counterintuitive quantum mechanical approach. Instead of assuming that light from a given source always follows the expected path, when it is reflected from the mirror and into a detector, he proposes that every unobstructed path is a possibility. Each path is assigned an amplitude vector that corresponds to the probability that a photon will travel by that path. That probability is a function of the time that is required for light to complete the chosen path. The path that is predicted by classical optical analysis, will require a short travel time, and will thus be represented by a long amplitude vector. As alternate paths diverge from the expected norm, the travel times lengthen, and the associated vectors grow shorter. These vectors not only have magnitudes but also have directions. Fortunately, some components of the exotic vectors, those vectors that are not expected by classical methods, cancel each other so that only those components that contribute to the expected path remain. All of this sounds like nonsense and that is O.K. because Feynman himself admits that it is incomprehensible. In spite of this type of analysis being overcomplicated for most purposes, it has value because it can predict phenomena that the classical view is unable to explain. He continues the analysis by demonstrating how the mirror will behave when it is altered by removing carefully chosen parts of the mirror. The results of these alterations cannot be explained by classical optics therefore the bizarre quantum effects can be demonstrated and are shown to be real. It can even be shown that when the photons are emitted one at a time, and we presume that they reflect from only locations that remain possible on the altered mirror, that they still behave as if the whole altered mirror system is accounted for.

Even though it seems as if only one of the available paths can be taken by each individual photon, they all behave independently and in conformance with the given field of options according to rules of probability. The fact that this knowledge of quantum effects resembles something like decision making, has given rise to speculation that quantum effects are somehow associated with another great mystery. That mystery is: What is the source of our own consciousness?

We began this discussion with an ancient world so full of mysterious uncertainty, that practices and beliefs, without understanding, were needed to cope and to bring some semblance of order to life. We have moved into a modern world in which great and growing knowledge has made technical advancement easy and has given an expectation that these skills will grow and grow rapidly. This apparent certainty has also given rise to arrogance and shortsightedness. In truth, very few of us understand modern science or technology, but instead believe that others are in place who will manage the deployment of new and great things. Just as modern scientific thought has rediscovered the inherent uncertainty of the physical world, perhaps we too should adjust our views to find our way in an uncertain future. Because we are unaccustomed to thinking in such terms, maybe we can find guidance from those who did so in the past.

The Song of Songs is considered by some to be just ancient erotica and by others to be an inspired spiritual text. It is composed of flirtations and flattering descriptions exchanged between lovers. Any description of actual contact is limited to dreamlike narratives. The images of a wall and of a door are introduced in the second and fifth chapters. Passage through the door is frustrated by the lover’s retreat. There are three admonitions given not to awaken love, or the lover, until he is ready. Near the end of the book images of a wall and door are reintroduced as part of a plan to adorn a young bride, one who is unready. She is not physically mature. A wall maintains the distinct separation of two places or environments. A door allows passage between these two. The door is Jacob’s ladder. Communication between ourselves in our current circumstance, and something desirable but beyond our reach is possible. This is two-way communication, as shown by the two-way traffic on Jacob’s ladder.

Reading ancient text is not enough. If incredibly insightful words were eternally preserved in some library, and if they were universally admired, but no one pondered those words or ever tested their own thoughts about them, these words would be worthless. We should also apply our own intelligence and intuition with diligence and honesty.

Let us now return to our discussion of Feynman’s mirror. Imagine that if one photon after having been projected into this field of uncertainty decided to cheat by copying the course of another photon. Imagine now that this type of behavior became fashionable and that large factions of photons were all choosing identical paths. Whatever errors become fashionable will be amplified. Mirrors would not function properly. They might be useless. They may become unstable or even dangerously deceptive with their ever-shifting fashions of error.

We are like these photons and with every new moment are we projected into a field of uncertainty. Those who promise guaranteed good results, if we follow their prescribed path, are liars or fools. Let us look beyond our origins, our current circumstances, and the available fashions, into the unknown and the unknowable. Let us send and receive messages through the door, or aperture, then deal with the necessarily vague or cryptic insights that will ultimately force us to make decisions and to act. Please think, speak, and act in good conscience.

The Mirror

The whole lecture series

We watch as our world seems to spin out of control. Feeling helpless and unable to correct this course, we cling to fantasies that some great leader will assume control, and then forcefully impose a better way before it is too late. Maybe we should have been preparing for this time all along.

In the Genesis story of creation, the Hebrew word arom describes Adam and Eve’s nakedness is the same word that is used to describe the serpent’s cunning or subtilty. The first couple were created naked, but they were unashamed. After gaining an awareness of good and evil, instead of accepting and adapting to this new condition, both the man and the woman denied responsibility for their part in causing this new circumstance. Losing the childlike innocence that allows one to act or to react, without being held responsible for the consequences of those decisions is frightening. Maybe this ongoing denial is the cause of, apparently inescapable, recurrent human tragedies.

The knowledge base that allows our creative and destructive abilities to thrive has grown so great, that spectacular possibilities are within reach. The wisdom that is needed to manage these abilities is still uncultivated. It is easier to feign helplessness and claim that some other person or group is the cause of our trouble. It is frightening to realize that our own thoughts and deeds are the foundation that will shape and support humanity’s future.

Avoiding our own liability, for every future outcome, is a continuation of the denial that has plagued all of human history. Appointing others to make judgements and take appropriate actions, while we continue, as spectators, to watch, waiting for a good result, will never work any better than it already has. The wicked and the insane are more than happy to take control and assume our neglected shares of judgement. Choosing a lesser evil, then hoping for good leads us to adapt to, and to accept, evils that had seemed unimaginable within recent memory.

The frightening tasks of cultivating ourselves to be fit and impartial judges of good and evil, and the tasks of developing the discernment to know what courses of action should be taken, grows more daunting every day. It is easy to imagine what others should have done in the past, but that is a vain fantasy. The final exam for humanity is tomorrow. We don’t have much time to prepare but we must try, and with a sense of urgency. An uncertain success is better than a certain tragic failure.
